The executioners who never meant to hurt me,
who torture nightly
with those eyes that they train to puncture,
pikes with perfect points so pure,
bright as a field of snow.
Pride leaves the tongue blackened.
It may be harmful if swallowed.
It goes down like a yellow jacket swarm.
The truth is in here somewhere,
if I search hard enough under words you wrote so small.
I may have altered definitions, but it was just to break my fall.
This always happens to me.
The guillotine is all shine.
